Structured constraints in Machine Learning have recently brought the Frank-Wolfe (FW) family of algorithms back into the spotlight. While the classical FW algorithm has poor local convergence properties, Away-steps FW and Pairwise FW have emerged as improv ...
This paper introduces restart and nogood recording techniques in the domain of qualitative spatial and temporal reasoning. Nogoods and restarts can be applied orthogonally to usual methods for solving qualitative constraint satisfaction problems. In partic ...
We present an efficient, modular, and feature-rich framework for automated generation and validation of complex structures, suitable for tasks that explore a large space of structured values. Our framework is capable of exhaustive, incremental, parallel, a ...
We present in this paper a new complete method for distributed constraint optimization. This is a utility-propagation method, inspired by the sum-product algorithm (Kschischang et al 2001). The original algorithm requires fixed message sizes, linear memory ...
This paper deals with compatible component selection problems, where the goal is to find combinations of components satisfying design constraints given a product structure, component alternatives available in design catalogue for each subsystem of the prod ...
After years of quest by the computer-supported collaborative work community for true user satisfaction, social software and communities of practice turn out to be the enabling frameworks for natural and effective collaborative learning and knowledge manage ...
Multi-valued decision diagrams (MDDs) are a convenient approach to representing many kinds of constraints including table constraints, regular constraints, complex set and multiset constraints, as well as ad-hoc problem specific constraints. This paper int ...
We present a semi-decision procedure for checking satisfiability of formulas in the language of algebraic data types and integer linear arithmetic extended with user-defined terminating recursive functions. Our procedure is designed to integrate into a DPL ...
Agile autonomous systems are emerging, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), that must robustly perform tightly coordinated time-critical missions; for example, military surveillance or search-and-rescue scenarios. In the space domain, execution of temp ...
We propose a new system-level abstraction, the lightweight immutable execution snapshot, which combines the immutable characteristics of checkpoints with the direct integration into the virtual memory subsystem of standard mutable address spaces. The abstr ...
